Ella wanted to laugh so bad. She really did. His sister had cooties? Why had she told him that? Maybe to stop him from bugging her or something? Instead of laughing, Ella settled on nodding seriously. "She did? That's too bad...but you said 'used to' so she's better, yeah?" Ella asked, feigning concern. If he really believed his sister had cooties, she'd go along with it.

The second year hadn't really considered that Theodore and her really didn't know each other very well. Actually, she didn't really know the boy at all. AND she had almost given him a black eye...AND he had almost killed her so...maybe it was time? "I'm a Hufflepuff, like Soph." She said with a smile. Yup! Ells was a Hufflepuff and she got to share a house with one of her besties! GRIN. "And you're a..." Ella tried to recall what robes she'd seen the first year wearing in classes. "Slytherin, right?"

"It's okay, Theodore. I believe you." Ella said reassuringly. D'aww. Did he really think that she thought he was trying to hurt her? Of course she didn't! And look at that! He hated the hospital wing too? This boy was smart. "Good! So we don't have to go then, okay?" Nope, they'd just suck it up and soldier on!

Good, so he was going to help her up. That was a relief. The second year grabbed on to the first year's hands and let him pull her up, doing her best to do most of the work so they wouldn't fall. Her legs felt a bit like jello. NOM. Speaking of jello, she was realllyyyyy hungry. Anyways...

Once she was standing, Ella checked the damage. No visible cuts or bruises yet so all was good. "Thanks for the help, Theodore." She said, giving the boy a small smile. "Good thing you're so strong."
